COUNTING BANANAS.

An old man, a paper Of pins and
q wagon-)oad of bananas engaged
the attention of a reporter for the
EMAIL and Express" this morning
on South street, and he stopped and
watched the old man as he silently
stuck pin after pin into the ripe red
fruit and then drew them out again
and made notes on a pod.
"What are you doing testing the
fruit?" asked the reporter.
mo. / am counting bananas,
that's all, >" returned the old man.
"But why not hold them up and
count them?"
"Cause. S'pose you try it your
self"
The reporter then picked up
bunch of bright red bananas that
the old man had already counted,
and running it over, said exultingly,
1872"
"Try again." said the banana
dealer, never looking up from his
work.
The reporter did so, and this time
counted 10. Again he tried and
made the number 1853.
"Now," said the old man, "takC
hold of this paper; there are 2OC
pins in it. Put a pin in each bananS
on the bunch" The work was done.
"Well," said the old man, show
many pins have you got left in the
paper! Thirty-three? Then there
are 1G7 bananas on that bunch
See? That's the way we dealers
count. IN. Y. Mail.

her KIND OF RAGE.

1t was on Michigan avenue car
yesterday. An oldish woman, hay-
ing three or four parcels on the seat
beside her, listened for q while to a
conversation between two men on
the opposite seat and then leaned
forward and askeds
Were you talking about racesF
Yes'm, replied one.
Going to be in town?
Yes'm.
What kind of races?
Horse racing, ma'am.
Oh, it is? Wall, that's all. If its
boss racing / don't keer to hear any
more about it.
What kind of racing did you want
to see?
Who? Me? Oh, ] kinder belong

begged their pardon and hoped they
wouldn't lay it up against her.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

BROUTHERs Of the Detrots still leads the
League in home runs.
In the International League only one man
is allowed on the coaching line.
ESTERQUEST is the name of phenomenal
twirler unearthed by Birmingham.
WARD, of the New Y orks, was the second
League player to make the Tooth actual hit of
the season.
In a recent twelve-inning game at Water
bury, Conn, Brady put out %, assisted 2,
without an error at first base.
"AL" MCKINNoN, first baseman of the
Pittsburg League Club, died recently at Bos-
ton, and was buried in Lowell.
WHEN the League leaders play among
themselves they play well, but when they
play the tail-enders they forget how to play.
BUFFALO, so far, is the most whitewashed
club in the International League, while Ham
ilton has applied the coating oftener than
any other club
whip it is New York and Chicago They
have won majority of the games played
with those clubs.
A MARKED feature of the Chicagos in ac-
tion is that they always play as if they en-
Joyed it. No one ever sees them play list
less, don't-care game.
A MATHEMATICIAN has estimated that when
Chamberlain and Mullane, who are among
the swiftest pitchers in the country throw the
ball with their utmost speed, it travels at the
rate of $50 feet per second.
VICKSBURG, Miss, will make an applica-
tion for membership in the Southern League
at the November meeting. Galveston and
Houston, Texas, are also anxious to enter,
and will make an effort in that direction.
PRESIDENT VoN DER AHE, of the St Louis
Club, says he is tired of tue American Asso-
citation, and has asked that a meeting be called
September to act upon the withdrawal of
his team. Should this club retire, it will seek
to join the League In that case lndianapo-
lis, it is said, will be dropped from the latter
organization.
FEWER first-class men have been developed
this year in the minor Leagues than for two
years past. Good pitchers especially have
failed to materiaize. This is no doubt due
to the new rules, which put damper upon
the wild hop-skip-and- Jump style of pitchers,
whose whole art consisted in firing ball i'll
with all the speed allowed by the former rule
Strategy counts now.
VAN HALTREN, of the Chicagos, was born
at St Louis, and is twenty-five years old but
he lived in Oakland, Cal, for seventeen years.
He started in as catcher, but by n huke tried
pitching in 1886, because the Greenhood & Mo-
rams were in a hole for pitcher. He sue
ceeded at once In California he pitched
plenty of games for five and six hits, once re-
tired three men on nine pitched balls, and has
struck out nineteen men.

MRS. THURRER WANTS HER MONEY.
She Asks that Receiver BE Appointed
for the National Opera Company.

She Asks that Receiver BE Appointed
for the National Opera Company.
In the court of chancery, on application of
Jeanette M. Thurber Chancellor McGill
granted rule to show cause why an order
should not be granted declaring the National
opera company insolvent and appointing a
receiver to wind up its affairs. The injunc-
tion is returnable next Wednesday.
The bill filed by Mrs. Thurber gives a his
tory of the company's reverses. 1t started
with nominal capital of $500, 900 and an ac-
tual capital of $1,000 divided into IL shares.
Two of these were held by Jeanette NJ. Thur
ber The company suspended operations last
June.
1t is said that 3775 shares of stock had beer.
issued to different persons, $500 having been
given for property furnished and the other
for cash The bill charges that the company
has no assets except the property referred to,
which consists of the usual lines of costumes,
musical instruments, etc They are said to
have cost S350,00O in stock. Mrs Thurber
also charges that the company is indebted to
her S32, 900 for money loaned. Last March a
chattel mortgage covering all the company's
property was made over to Frank r. Law
renee. Mrs. Thurber has begun suit in Hud-
son county to recover the money due her.
Various other suits are pending, S25, 600 being
required to pay the employees. The total lia-
bilities, Mrs Thurber thinks, amount to over
100000, not including the chattel mortgage
mentioned. There are not sufficient re-
sources to meet the liabilities the bill states.
Hence the application for receiver.

A BOODLER CONFEsSES.
One OF ChIcngo's City Fathers Suddenly
Gets n Virtuuus Streak.

The Boston Herald says There was start
ling sensation in the trial of the big Doodle
cases. After the last witness for the state
had left the stand, Chairman Klehern an
nounced that he wished to withdraw his
plea of not guilty and to throw himself upon
the mercy of the court He admitted that he
was guilty as charged in the Indictment The
other defendants were thunderstruck and
trembled with rage and fear The spectators
and lawyers and even the judge were takan
by surprise He was determined to make his
confession and neither pulls at his coat-tails
nor hints at vengeance restrained him.
"He hopes now to get off easy" said one of
the gang, "but if the judge is the man | hope
he is, he'll stick it to the thieving rascal"
The boodlers are simply wild with rage.
Judge Jameson explained what the effect of
the plea of guilty would be-that is, the
punishment that could be imposed-but Kle-
hern adhered to his resolve. The whole gang
OF boodlers are panic stricken. They are all
shadowed by detectives to prevent escape to
Canada. Sentence was deferred on Klehern
at the request of the states attorney, and ne
was allowed to depart OH his bond

DEATH OF M. KATKOFF.
The Eminent Russian Journalist Passes
Away,

Away.
Michael N Katkoff, editor of the Moscow
Gazette, died ON the lst inst, in the presence
of his family. He was 81 years of age.
Within eighteen months Russia has lost the
two great journalists who were, each in his
way, and with some divergence in their lines
of action, the heart and soul of Panslavism-
a national movement which, under the i'm
pulse of their fiery patriotism, forced the late
Gar into conflict with Turkey and came
within little Of driving the reigning mon
arch to still more hazardous venture on the
red pathway of war. Last year Aksakoff,
the editor of the Russ and president of the
Moscow Slavonic Society, passed away, and
now Katkoff, the editor of the Moscow Ga
zette, the most influential political journal of
the empire, follows to the tomb.
M. Katkoff was q native of the city in
which he won his fame as a journalist. Born
in Moscow in 1920, he laid the foundation of
his education at the Moscow University, and
in 1888 went abroad to complete the struc-
ture at the universities of Koenigsberg and
Berlin On his return from Germany, he
obtained professorship of philosophy at the
Moscow University, but his advocacy of
liberal political ideas soon brought him
under the ban of the government, and he
was obliged to retire from the chair. With
an instructive perception of his own capac-
ity, he turned to journalism for new
career In 1856 he established the Russian
Messenger. As an editor he modified
his political views and the modification pro-
ceeded apace, till the former advocate Of
constitutional principles was converted into
resolute supporter of absolute government
In 1861 NJ. Katkoff became the editor of
the Moscow Gazette and his boldness and
ability speedily gained for his paper an in
fuence both at the court and with the people
which made it power in the land, 1t was
the leading exponent of national sentiment
as opposed to western ideas. 1t championed
the right of the Gar to govern his empire at
his pleasure, and the right of Russia to rule
all the Slavonic nationalities beyond its
frontier. -[Boston Herald.
